SOF First Person: Repossessing Virtue
Repossessing Virtue is part of our ongoing series exploring the moral, spiritual, and practical aspects of the economic downturn. We've asked past guests, listeners, and other familiar voices for their wisdom and insight about the changing economic climate.
About the Image
"Walking to the Sky." A 100-foot sculpture by Jonathan Borofsky that was originally installed at Rockefeller Center in 2004 before being moved to the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas a year later.
Your Voices, Your Stories
» Voices on the Economic Downturn [interactive map]
